Exploring The 70 Mile Long Alamo Road Near Area 51 pt2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 дек 2021
- This is the second of two videos of my exploring and driving the 4WD dirt-surfaced Alamo road that runs for 70 miles from where Kenny Veach disappeared out across the desert and near the secret military base Groom Lake and Area 51. The military testing base was heavily posted and I did not attempt to go cross country on foot for a closer look. Too many eyes in the sky for that.
I do find a lot of Indian stone tools and find some petroglyphs along with a dried-out but perfectly preserved desert tortoise shell, a really cool badger skull, and spent WW2 munitions.
About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my RUclips "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

Here is part two of the Alamo dirt track drive. Lots of stuff to see and explore! Tomorrow it's off to do some geode hunting.
Oooooohhhh , geode hunting !!!
Where to!?
Chig, you need to get a quad on these long trips to no where land. I'm always worried your gonna trek out and like Kenny you'll just disappear.
I love rock hunting
@@asurfer7741 Hawaii or Alaska native?
Alamo means Poplar Tree.
I certainly do miss spending several days deep in the desert all alone. So peaceful and awe inspiring.
Great series Chig.
Large birds, especially ravens, flip tortoises over, peck holes through the undersides where the shell is thinner, and eat the innards. I drive washboard roads at 35-40. That way the tires hit only the tops of the "ripples" and the ride smoothes way out.
Like a dirt bike in the whoops section just skip across the top
@@samholdsworth420 Yes, I did that too in the 1960's with a Bultaco 250 cc in the Mojave Desert.
Another one I've watched more than once and enjoyed just as much. Thanks, Beau.
Thanks for taking us. My wife says I can go on a Chiggventure! You have tipped the scales in my favor. It's a pleasure joining you.
I'm happy to see people like you show how interesting the desert is. The day might come when all that will remain will be videos like yours. I've read, "Every year, thousands of acres of desert habitat are fragmented and degraded from recent human activities such as urban growth, illegal off-highway vehicle activity, large-scale development, and resource extraction".
That doesn't include the damage from climate change which is also devasting to the plants and animals. Thanks, Beau, for taking us along on another interesting and important adventure.
Thanks Chigg for another fine video! Just love your adventures and the quality of your videos! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
I love these exploration videos! Thanks for taking us along with you.
WOW!!! The scenery is breath taking.... and now I know the difference between a petroglyph and a pictograph, if high school had been this good, I would have learned more, thank you Chigg💖 So somebody shot the badger, how long ago, for food or sport??? Poor badger. I wonder what happened to the tortoises. We had one named Brady, just wandered into the yard one day. I'm really loving the desert videos, thanks again.
The golden hour hue at the later part of the video is just magical. At 11:20 ... Also at 14:50
Those holes in the rock really weird and the Joshua trees kept making me jump as you were driving I kept thinking someone/thing was standing there. I am from across the pond so that’s my excuse, we don’t get many Joshua trees in Portsea UK.😂
Thanks for all your great explorations, you remind of my close friend who passed away a while back, him and i had some great explorations and fishing trips. In some strange way this makes me feel like i'm still going on those fun trips him.
By the roaring of your motor there must be a lot horses under the hood, would like it if my walker make that sound ;-) Nice video - Amerika seems bigger than Holland where I live, no desert here..
yep, 2,300 miles from home on this trip.
I love how you treat the camera like were actually there with you, it personalize the whole experience.
It reminds me so much of Tom Hanks and his "buddy" Wilson. I wonder if he talks to himself a lot at home, too. 🤔
So true
Chig, needs his own show on Nat Geo. He has a great in air personality..
@@jonwaters5278
It's called ON air, not in air, it's also called In line, not on line.
Sure would be cool to travel back in time 15,000 years and see that area.
What I hear people say out here, “when the mountains turn pink it’s time for a drink.”
Man you sure can hike a long way! Lol. Lower back nerve pain prevents me. And it really is a bummer. When you're young and can walk all day you never imagine it. Lol
Thanks for the tour buddy watching from Australia
Aquachigger is like the bob ross of exploring
Have been watching all your videos, for years. Have lived in Las Vegas nv for 50 years. It thrills me to see your joy of exploring the western desert. I have done the 70 mile road many times. Scary to be alone that far out without cell reception. Thanks be safe!
Great videos! Watching from Ireland. 🇮🇪☘😀👍
What a great trip! Thank you so much for taking us along. Spectacular place.
I love your videos. You are so calming you are a balm for the soul.
Ole chigg drives like a true Texan somehow lol... Stay safe my man
Love the dirt road bumps
I really enjoy these Chigg walking and pointing stuff out videos. It's l;ike I'm there with Chigg.
Thanks for taking the time to share all this with us.. Keep safe
The desert is an amazing place, thanks for sharing it with us...
Absolutely love the petroglyphs and pictographs…God’s country!
I moved to Santa Fe, NM from E TN a few years back. Really enjoy watching you explore and classify items and landscape in desert. It is indeed very different and so interesting. Great experience for me too. Logged many miles with hubby and dog.
One word "Awesome" !!
I’m glad you left them home. That desert area is too vast for Fiona and the wobbly kitten.
No Chig adventure is complete without Chig Geology lessons. I enjoyed it!
I love the rattling sounds your truck makes it reminds me of the old Buick my mom used to drive when I was a kid. I realy like your video's Mr Chig!!! I think you are one xmart fellow!
“Signs”- Five Man Electrical Band, 1970. One hit wonder. 👍👍👍
Love these videos of your trips chigg.. Would be get to get over there one day.. looks an amazing place.. and sunny!!; ha. Thanks for sharing. . 🏴 👍
I recently started watching your vids, now Im ready to check out some Desert scenery . Ive always loved the Desert
Chigg living the dream!
Happy Trails!!!
Here's a good example strange land scape and washboard roads thanks for shake rattle and roll Beau!!!; )
Thank you for sharing your journey !
Hey Chigg great video be safe and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏
Thanks Chigg for another beautiful adventure
We had many families of kit foxes that also lived in burrows, and rabbits, and other smaller critters. Surprisingly common. The one real danger we noted was all the open vertical mine pits, many of which had the markers long gone. About 18:00 in those corrals are commonly used when they are gathering wild horses and burros for the BLM. It may be for open range and watering, but it looks more like the temporary corrals for the wild mustang roundups.
Another great adventure with the Chigg. Thanks for sharing. Take care 👍
Thank you again for sharing another great adventure 👍🇦🇺
Love the journey your on.
I love this series!!
Awesome trek across the Alamo rd. Awesome finds and thank you for sharing
It' was amazing to me ,coming from Ohio , how fast you could be in the wilderness once you turned off a main road out there. I got off near Phoenix on Cave Creek, went down a mile or 2 turned onto another road went around a hill and all of a sudden there was nothing but rocks and dirt and everything looked the same, I was off the road that fast. Luckily I stopped right away and I got out of the car and walked back a bit to find the road again, if I hadn't noticed , who knows where I might have ended up?.
I look forward to these videos so much while at work.
This Region is so beautiful. Just Beautiful!
Really enjoy these desert adventures!
I love how you film your videos, it feels like I'm right there with you while you chit chat and explore. And I learn things too!
Glued to you videos, full of information and interesting facts. What an amazing place! 👍
Another great adventure in the desert. cool things to see and learn about out there. Thanks for the education.
Hey Beau, MOAR please, ASAP. My feet and legs are begging me take a Back country trek but, I know I wouldn't be able to finish the trip.
Thanks again for sharing your time and travels with us Beau..
Stay safe out there.
Stan
Amazing adventure with amazing person!!!!
This has been beautiful scenery and a fun trip.
Keep filming great fun to watch an see different country
Aussie col
The collapsing soil is from toads. We used to have them on my grandparents property in Arizona. Real easy to twist an ankle in that stuff.
Nice video mr chigg thanks for sharing
This early from the UK, love it!😊👍
Great video. Like always.
Wow thanks for sharing
Good stuff. Thanks
Love your videos.
Lots of great views all around you yikes never enough time to see them all. Thanks, Clinton
LOOK,,,,,,,,,YOU GOT A BANNER!LOL..........GREAT VIDEOS IN SNOWY MAINE,,SAFE TRAVELS
Yehaaa..man I thought I would be watching repeats..like Petticote Junction and the Beverly Hillbillies..yet here y'all be..supadupa dude
Chigg, those are pictographs (painted onto the rocks) as opposed to petroglyphs which are etched/carved into the rock. Occasionally they are both, carved then painted.
As you travel through the Great Basin, note the old wave terraces/benches cut into the sides of the hills. Only +/- 13K years ago the area was still covered by highly productive freshwater lakes and marshes that were highly attractive to the first thin bands of people.
Oops, you later detailed the difference.
Good hanging out with you , bro .😀thanks for sharing these sights I would never see in my lifetime .🙂
Cool stuff chigg. . I have seen lots of pictographs in the Coahuila area. Some amazing places to be found in deserts.
Beau, dont let a grab-boid get you out there. I just watched Tremors last week. Looks like grab-boid country to me 😂. Love your videos btw...
you are great you actually go out there and do the stuff people wish they would do Props to you I hope you find Him great videos thank God bless you
The sidewinder,scorpions, bats and rats come out at night! Spent a lot of time in the 🏜.😀👍
Be careful outside on ground in and around your truck at night! Rattlers, sidewinder like the heat of your trk....when you step out to take a leak!🤔
Thanks for the picturegraphs vs pictographs!Spelling? Something like that! Lol!
OMGosh Chigg those soft spots on the dry lake are "Sand Samquatches" hide outs LOL. Great field trip exploration at its finest. Brings back memories out of Henderson NV running south/southwest and out of Dagget Ca going south night running in a van chasing rabbits came out in a small settlement no one around tools and such laying out very strange.
Thats actual quicksand. And the rocks/tools/artifacts came out of the little hole thete like spring style & pushes stuff up & out. (ref: very beginning) 🤟
I love when you do desert hikes
You had a really good trip!
Southwestern superstition says you should really be holding your breath when going over those cattle guards there mr. Chigg. Lol
When you come to Alamogordo again go north on the highway past Tularosa still going North. You will see a small store and old schoolhouse on the highway. There used to be a sign to three rivers just drybeds now but theres a place with paths going for a couple miles all pictographs all over the rocks . Tons of them. Some are extremely interesting.
Your videos are awsome
Thank you Chig, I'm really pleased artefacts are left , every new person has the joy of seeing it . As well as being federal law .
On a ancient “beach” !! 👍👍👍
Just been watching your river series in bonnie Scotland! Very good 🙂. Hope you do another series. The open space where you are at the moment is pretty vast... Just like all of the States I would imagine! Keep it up dude 👍✅.
Wash boards are caused by people not airing down there tyres👍🇦🇺 great vid mate
You have a new subscriber in me! I have told all of my friends that are interested in the same things as me about your channel too!
Love your content. Keep going!!!!
Good stuff 👍🏻
Rattle bumps. From tires bouncing up and down doing a little spinning each time they come back down to the road.
I remember driving from Phoenix to payson and at the side of the road stood a coyote with its hair standing straight up and mainly looking. What a site for a girl from kansas city too 👀
had a similar experience when driving around Sedona and a coyote casually walked in front of my car at night. No artificial light, no moon out, just stars that I had never seen before (I'm from eastern Tennessee, near NC). Somehow seemed so WILD! will never forget it.
Next time keep an eye out for petroglyph resembling alian spacecraft. Enjoyed the video.
Another place in that general area is Red Rock Canyon! It is on BLM land and has some fantastic natural sandstone formations! Thanks for the memories!😉🌠🐻
Nice! Thanks
Pancho Barnes had a place out there, but I believe its ruins are actually ON Edwards AFB proper.
Snow does the same thing when whipped by the wind . Always in my drive way, back when I lived in western ny.
Keep em comin chigg man
I used to drive that highway 375 about 2 to 3 times a week going to Nellis Test Range off of Cedar gate highway 375. We drove 110 miles in straight to area 51 and this is because we were told by our military escorts where we were. They were actually very nice people but they did take CB radios, phones ,cameras and an memory sticks. I saw some strange things there. A hangar that looks just like a hillside unless you're about 30 feet in front of it. The other stuff is even more strange.
Enjoyed watching! Especially when you had to kick the poor old turtle’s shell twice just to make sure he wasn’t in there! Lol
Super cool
